Zucchini Patties

Ingredients

• 300 g zucchini (grated)
• 1 small onion (finely chopped)
• 30 g flour
• baking powder
• 35 g Kefalotyri (or freshly grated Parmesan cheese)
• 2 tbsp chopped mint
• 2 tsp chopped flat-leaf parsley
• 1 pinch freshly ground nutmeg
• 25 g breadcrumbs
• 1 egg (lightly beaten)
• olive oil (for frying)
• lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

1. 1.

   Place zucchini and onion in the center of a clean kitchen towel, gather the corners and twist tightly to squeeze out as much water as possible. Transfer the zucchini and onion to a large bowl and mix with flour, baking powder, cheese, mint, parsley, nutmeg, breadcrumbs, and egg until well combined. Season strongly and work into a firm, sticky mixture by hand.

2. 2.

   Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the pan, press down slightly, and fry for 4-6 minutes until golden brown on all sides. Drain on paper towels and serve hot with lemon wedges.
